As more folks continue to lose their jobs, The Gorham Food Pantry expects to serve even more families. We are so grateful for our many community members asking how they can plug in – we have a few ways for you to help.

Current needs include tomato paste, juice (in jugs, not boxes), large jelly/jam, large 2-in-1 shampoo, small cooking oil, onions, body wash, dish soap, laundry soap. We also need meat products: canned chicken, tuna, deviled ham, or packages of store-packaged meat (frozen hamburger patties, etc.) Any fresh/frozen meats can be delivered just before pantry hours or by sending us a FB message to arrange a time.

Cash donations directly to the pantry will allow us to make food purchases at Good Shepherd and Hannaford to fill in any gaps and can be done online here.

The Gorham Food Pantry is limiting pantry visits to one visit per month to accommodate as many families as possible. While we are unable to provide specific food items for our families at this time, we will do our best to give each family a good variety of food items.

We have a new protocol per the Good Shepherd Food Bank during the COVID-19 pandemic which means we can offer drive through service only. Visitors are asked to follow signs as posted in parking lot, remain in the car, check in, and wait for delivery to the car.

If you are in need of the pantry but have never visited us before, feel free to visit us during any of our pantry hours which are Thursday mornings from 10 a.m.-noon, and the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month from 6-7 p.m. Please bring a copy of a utility bill with your name and your Gorham address and we’ll register you while you wait. For more information, call 222-4351 or visit www.gorhamfoodpantry.org.

Thank you for your support and for helping us feed our neighbors here in Gorham.
